VeIe injured, one slightly and the other had
his left foot completely broken to pieces.
The boiler, weighing 5000 pounds, was
blown distance of 120 feet.
Forty employees were engaged there and il
is fortunate that no others were hurt. The

and it was comparatively new. The build

Armour and the Brioklaysrs.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE statement Is made
here that Mr.. P ID. Armour, after vanQuish-
ing the Knights of Labor in their battle over
the eight-hour day, has thrown down the
gauntlet to the Bricklayers Union, and an
interesting struggle is now going on in con-
sequence. The trouble arose over Mr.. Ar
mour's action in regard to the bricklayers on
some of his stock-yards work. After en-
gagiDg Chris Garry, a member of the union,
IS his foreman by the year, Mr.. Armour in
sisted on the men working ten hours. Garry
endeavored to enforce the order, when the
rest Of the bricklayers struck. Garry's case
came before the union at once, and he was
fined 800, which he has refusedlto pay, at the
same time declining to appear and defend
himself. The bricklayers were then called
of all the buildings in whose
construction Mr.. Armour was inter-
ested except the Armour mission
which the union excepted on account of its
character. Since then a number of brick
layers-just how many is in question-have
been imported from the country and put to
work at ten hours. These men are kept Sc
cluded, and all efforts of the union to reach
them to call them eff the jobs have proved
fruitless. The walking delegate who made
the final attempt was arrested and taken to
I he town hall, but was Immediately released,
as no charge would hold against him for
merely being in the building. As the union
has Withdrawn from the trades assembly, no
help can be gained from that source and the
union finds itself powerless thus far.
ArEuours s action means simply that he is
begin ming the fight against eight hours to
help the contractors who dare not do il them
selves, sad member Of the union yester-
day. He Is going to import enough men
here q n his work to give the contractors a
Iorce W. ith which to start the war upon the
union hss'.as, ~asd try 20 heat Ds ont 0f our

former law partner of Congressman Cobb,
and Sam W. Williams, ex-member of the
Legislature, engaged in fight on public
street to-day. Goodman was the attacking

made by Williams, in which he said, during
the progress of trial in which both were
concerned, that Goodman had conspired to
defraud his client Goodman will be fined to-

Indiana Walnut and oak Timber Scarce

FoRT WAYNE, Jan. 1.-The Pennsylvania
Company, operating the Plttsburg Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, has this winter
begun purchasing the white oak aud bur
oak ties nsed on that line in West Virginia
where the wood is more plentiful and equally
as cheap. When il is borne in mind that
not msny years ago the growth of oak, wal
nut and other timber was so great as to lead
Lieutenant Maury in his official reports to
the Government, to designate Indiana as
'the steppes of America" the present de-
pleted condition OF the forests of the State is
well worth t2le attention Of arborculturulists
and the public generally. Within the last
twenty years nee ~ all Of the walnut has
been cut off in the northern part of the State
and now it appears that the oak is no longer
able to supply the railroads. The average
life Of an oak lie isseven years.

Democrats Hopeful.


WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE Journal oorre-
spoDdent is altogether too previous in stat
ing in his Sunday special that the Democrats
here have given up the struggle as to Sena-
tor. The Democrats here have always been
hopeful. They have ever been conscious of
the right, and never doubted, if the will OF
the people was carried out, Democrat will
be selected TO succeed Ben Harrison. But
the rascality and evident intent of the Re
publican gang TO steal the Senatorial seat
outright, and the willingness of partisan
Senate here to sanction and confirm
the rape of the State, has, of course,
given the Democrats here some xiety; but
to-day's news from Indiana-the decision of
Judge Ayers-has stimulated the Democratic
heart and cOrrespondingly depressed the CO.
conspira Ofs here.

Cash VS.. Credit

presents us two roads for the year 49,
Which will you take p? Well, times are
flush at the Racket, and business away up
at the top. And all this complaining of
hard times seems to us to belong to some
other country. Well, we have spent five
and half months in Charlotte striving
might and main to demonstrate the real
advantages to be gained by ready dollars.
Trying with the best possible values to
show the enormity of the credit system.
Our wonderful success has demonstrated
beyond all question of doubt that the peo-
pie are with us, that our system of the best
values for the least money has met their
approval and that they are fully awake to
the fact that dollars worth of goods for
dollar can only come through the system
Of dollars. 1t is smooth sailing going in
debt, but it's stormy weather at paying up
time and there are of necessity great
many who do go down before the grade. If
all the unpaid accounts for debts con-
tracted in the city of Charlotte during the
past twenty years were spread out upon
ledgers, we doubt if there is dray in
town large enough to held the load. Who
bore the burden of this loss? Did the mer-
chant lose it or did he charge those who
paid enough to make it up? How much
do you suppose the credit system cost you
last year?
All the losses sustained by credit con-
Germs have to be paid by those who pay. If
you buy out of it and pay, it is your cash
which pays for those who never pay, or the
merchant fails.
Just so long as men go in debt they will
get hard pressed for dollars and fail, and
whatever they have whether horses and
mules, as seen here. or stacks of merchan-
disc in the great commercial centres must
measure arms with dollars. 1t is
from the disasters of the credit system

Bad News.

1t has been given out that certain
man is to make everybody stop taking
this paper. If true, this is alarming
and we would feel called upon to APP
peal to the sympathy of the kind peo-
pie of the city for protection. But we
are persuaded that this is nothing new
and there is no hurt in it. We are
inclined to behave that the best efforts
of this party Nave been used against
us and amounts to nothing. The good
people of this city are sensible and
have learned the good of bold out
spoken newspaper. A paper that al
ways advocates the rights and defends
the cause Of the colored man. A pa
per that tells our young folks and old
folks of themselves and their friends
in pleasant manner and is ever ready
to expose the hypocrite wherever found.
We appreciate the good sense and
good taste of our people and know
they will give us better support in
tie future than in the past.
We are thankful for past favors and
are assured of a proper support. No
one expects us to please everybody
and we make no effort to please the
vulgar blackguards who have neither
respect for decent people or themselves
and are continually finding fault with
us. This paper is printed for the
colored people. Let all write, our
columns are open.
